This episode – the first in a two-part series – continues the discussion on Neo-idealism and grand strategy for liberal democracies started in Episode 4, by examining the dangers of taking liberal democracy for granted and putting it “on cruise control”. Gathering guests from across political traditions, this episode discusses the strategic choices democracies now face in defending themselves against authoritarian adversaries, renewing the promise of the liberal democratic model, and whether liberal democracy remains an attractive model to spread around the world.
